EXAMS
Here’s some good news, you’ll only have four tests in HB for the ENTIRE year:
two during the fall and two during the spring semester. More importantly, you
won’t have to worry about an HB test in either of the third test blocks. But
there’s a catch, the second test in both semesters is COMPREHENSIVE. Don’t
worry; it’s not as scary as it sounds. The second test will mainly focus on the
material. Plus, if you had a fairly solid idea of what went on in the first test, you
shouldn’t have any trouble. Your final grade is a result of a weighted average of
the scores in all four tests. Some extra credit will be thrown in here and there
from different professors. This will come from bonus quizzes in class and/or
doing a simple extra assignment. Most people agree that the first and fourth
tests were the most difficult. The first test is due to the quantity of information
and for the fact, you have no idea what to expect from an HB test yet. The
fourth test was troublesome due to the ambiguity of the questions. Dr. Smith
knows about these problems and has done his best to fix them.
EXAM REVIEW
These are the verbatim rules of exam review straight from the Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences:
1. All exams are closed. It is a violation of the College of Medicine honor
code for students to have in their possession copies of questions from this exam
or previously given closed examinations or to transmit test questions over email.
2. Following any given exam, the Exam Key will be posted on Hippocrates
Discussion Board for your review.
3. Regarding questions that may arise following an exam, it is this
department’s policy to answer exam-related questions on an individual basis only
rather than through an exam review committee. Therefore, your exam review
chairperson should make an appointment with the Course Director to discuss
any exam-related issues, or you may choose to contact the author of a specific
question directly.
4. To make an appointment regarding an exam issue, you may contact
Lori Nicholson to review the exam before your appointment with the
Course Director. In the interim, the question writers will review any
questions scoring poorly by the
Item Analysis, and those
changes (if any) will be
“Someone needs to abuse her.
Wait, I think they already did”.
